Serving Injured Workers Across the Five Boroughs
Painters spend much of their working day on scaffolds and ladders and at other heights. As a result, painters are at an especially high risk for falling. Falls from any height can lead to head injuries, spinal injuries, disability or death. New York law understands that workers who work at heights require specific legal protections. New York Labor Law 240 gives painters and other workers who have been injured in scaffolding accidents the right to file suit against the building owner and contractor. This law gives workers who have been injured in scaffolding or ladder accidents the ability to recover full compensation for their medical expenses, lost income and other damages.
If you want to know more about your rights, it is important to work with an experienced law firm. For three generations, working men and women who have been injured on the job have turned to the lawyers of Rosenberg, Minc, Falkoff & Wolff LLP. Our attorneys and staff have built a strong record of success in all types of injury claims.
In every workplace accident involving ladders, scaffolds or other equipment, we will look closely at the underlying causes of the accident. For instance, scaffolds must be properly erected and maintained. Ladders must be in proper working order. Workers must have access to proper safety equipment. Flaws in any of these procedures can cause severe injuries. Once we know what has happened, we will build a powerful case designed to hold the offending parties responsible.
